See the bigger picture and communicate in a whole new way. With the Galaxy Note8 in your hand, bigger things are just waiting to happen.

Design

The Infinity Display that's larger than life

Infinity Display

6.3" screen

18.5:9 aspect ratio

More screen means more space to do great things. Go big with the Galaxy Note8's 6.3" screen. It's the largest ever screen on a Note device and it still fits easily in your hand.

The big screen that fits in your hand. Infinity Display.

6.3" screen

18.5:9 aspect ratio

Wider view

The innovation of the Galaxy Note8's design makes possible the 6.3" Infinity Display. It's the biggest ever for a Galaxy Note - giving you more screen for a bigger view and more space to use the S Pen. And it still fits comfortably in your hand because the symmetric curves and 18.5:9 aspect come together for a narrow body.

Wider view

Cinematic Experience

Even watching movies is simply more enjoyable with the Infinity Display's 18.5:9 aspect ratio. In landscape mode, the Galaxy Note8 offers a 14% wider viewing area that makes for a richer, more immersive experience that pulls you in wherever you are.

Perfect symmetry

Design that works

The Galaxy Note8 is designed for you to use with ease and simplicity. The beautiful curves and seamless body are engineered to offer you a comfortable grip and more space for you to write freely with the S Pen. The fingerprint scanner is virtually flush with the back, and the Home button is embedded underneath the Infinity Display to stay invisible until you need it. It's the beginning of a seamless experience.

The Big Screen for bigger things

Multi Window

Optimized for lists

Multi Window

Launch two apps with a single tap

The 18.5:9 aspect ratio was made for multitasking. Turn on Multi Window mode to have two apps open at the same time. And for those two apps that you use together, App Pairing presets let you open them simultaneously with a tap. Now it's simpler than ever to listen to music as you find your way or read reviews as you shop.

Optimized for lists

View more, scroll less

Whether you're going through your social media feed or writing a recipe in Samsung Notes, you see more and do more with less scrolling on the tall 18.5:9 display ratio.

Fine tip

4096 pressure levels

Fine tip

Write with precision

When we need to take notes or when inspiration strikes, our first instinct is to look for a pen. That's why it made perfect sense for the Galaxy Note series to have the S Pen. The S Pen for the Galaxy Note8 has a 0.7 mm tip that's fine and precise like your favorite pen, so you can draw and write with accuracy. And if you need to undo, just press the button at the side to turn S Pen into an eraser.

4096 pressure levels

Control the flow

Create fine or broad strokes just as you would with a brush. The S Pen has 4096 levels of pressure to more accurately respond to the touch of the pen tip, giving you control whether you're note-taking or sketching.

Camera

Photos, clear and steady even in low light

Get crisp photos even when it's dark and it's difficult to keep your phone steady. The Galaxy Note8's dual camera has a wide-angle camera that comes with the great low-light capabilities that you've come to expect from Galaxy phones, while the telephoto camera gives you 2x optical zoom for you to capture the near and far. Both have optical image stabilization (OIS) so you get steady shots even when zoomed in.

Steady does it. The dual camera with dual OIS.
